No. 1 : Quick Recipe
Crispy Almond Crab Cakes
- 1 LB Crabmeat
- 2 Tsp EACH Salt and Pepper
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil Mayonnaise
- 1 TSP Dijon Mustard
- 2 TB Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 TSP Baking Powder
- 2 Cups Almond Meal
- 1 Large Egg, Beaten
- ¼ Cup Minced Parsley
- 2 TB Avocado Oil
Step One
Place the crabmeat in a bowl and add the salt and pepper. In another bowl; mix the mayo, mustard and Worcestershire. Gently fold mixture into crabmeat. In a third bowl, toss the baking powder, parsley, and ¼ Cup of the almond meal together. Add to your crabmeat mixture and fold in gently.
Step Two
Place the remainder of the almond meal on a plate. Make a crab cake about the size of a half dollar and coat with the meal – just enough to cover the crab cake. Put the crab cakes in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up before cooking them.
Step Three
In a large skillet; heat the oil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and gently place the crab cakes in the oil. They are ready when golden brown – usually a few minutes per side.

Maison Matisco Macon-Villages
Maconnaise, Burgundy France
About $18.00
This wine is made from the Chardonnay grape, but named in the old-world fashion by the place, (Macon, MAY-Con), not by the grape. Its an affordable white Burgundy that will pair well with the almond crust of the crab cake and the zippy lemon of the Remolaude. Juicy tasting with lively acidity, its a versatile quaffer for seafood, poultry and veggies, too!
